Reminds me of Rubick (Dota)'s Telekinesis.

this is the only skill of its type in the entire game, which can throw an enemy to a target area of your choosing. the ability to screw over someone's position so hard is extremely powerful, you can throw an enemy healer into the middle of your team, or throw someone outside the cart circle in silvershard mines.

The main weakness is the skill is channeled, so if you get interrupted before you can throw the enemy, it goes on cooldown regardless. You can move while channeling it so knockbacks can't interrupt you. The channeled part of the skill is on the stun DR, so you have a shorter and shorter time to throw them for each DR, and once they're immune you can't throw them.

one could argue that a well-positioned death knight is much stronger with his death grip on a much lower cooldown. Think of this skill as an easy-mode death grip with 40 yards range, on a class who can position anywhere they want on short notice, the cost being the long cooldown.

It's a strong skill, being able to mess up someone's position, or throw a healer 40 yards into your team / away from their team. you can channel it while moving and players can interrupt you. the channeled strangulate counts as a stun, so if someone trinkets it the stun will break, and you can no longer throw them. big weakness considering it has the exact same cooldown as Adaptation, and demon hunters have no way to force pop adaptation outside of this skill.

when it does work its a godsend. 6 seconds of stun, followed by the throw animation, then an aoe 3 sec stun (1.5 on main target after diminishing returns). But it's competing with Demonic Trample, which turns you from annoying to uncatchable. honestly if you wanna ruin people's day by throwing them around i think a well positioned blood death knight is more valuable.
